Abstract

An abrupt change in internuclear Re–Re distances between {Re6} subunits in the carbon-centered [Re12μ6-CS17(CN)6]n−complexes caused by the change of the oxidation state (n = 6, 8) is first theoretically shown to be possibly controlled by an external electric
field.13C NMR signal is shown to change over ~400 ppm (~37G) for μ6-C atom together withn. Thereby, the metal cluster [Re12μ6-CS17(CN)6]n−can be considered as a perspective model of a molecular switch.
